we were put into groups of 8 where we had to think of a subject matter to base our hot dog book on. we all decided that we would base ours on snowmen to keep in with the season. we decided to create out own style snowmen each with a different style;
hawiyan snowman
harry potter snow man
'plastic/posh' snowman
gangster snowman
etc
we decided to use the colours blue and yellow/orange
as i have never done a screen print before i wasn't 100% sure of how to apply the tone on two different pieces of paper. it was very difficult to imagine how the 2 toned images would look together as one.
this is how my snow man turned out after screen printing. because i was quite like with my pen/pencil some of my lines were not bold enough to show up on the print. also if i was to do a screen print again, i would need to take more care in aligning the 2 papers and positioning the 2 illustrations in the same place on the paper.
i think the 2 colours work well together as they are complimentary colours.
i did not really enjoy this process, however i think that was down to the image i created. i was not happy with the image i drew which therefore made me loose enthusiasm whilst printing the piece. i think if i was to do a screen print again i would make sure to spend more time on the illustrated piece.
also i think i lacked enthusiasm as i didn't no what to expect from the screen print because it was my first time.
